As I watch this presidential race impatiently, I will now write two paragraphs on why I think I would make an efficient, decent secretary for the J-Club.

I would like to be secretary because I believe that my “secretarial” skills could be put to use in the J-Club. I have “secretarial” basics: neat handwriting, organizational skills,and a genuine desire for structure and order. As a psychology lab assistant last spring and summer, I actually ended up doing more of these kinds of tasks than anything actually psychology-related. In addition, I am fairly good at balancing my work, so completing tasks for J-Club would not be a problem.

Above all, I am deeply in love with Japanese culture and lifestyle. Who could possibly not fall in love with a nation of toilets that clean your anal groove for you (even though I swear I've never used them)? Their desserts, convenience stores, public transportation system, health care system, technology, among other things, all surpass those of the United States. I wasn't even born in nor have I ever lived in Japan. I’ve only spent all of my summers there, and I know that Japan is where I was born and bred to live and die (specifically, I’ve chosen Kamakura). I hope to move there after I graduate, hopefully on some sort of funding to study popular culture with respect to modernist and postmodernist cultural theories. It would be my pleasure to share these interests and enthusiasms with other students at U of C by means of being the secretary of the J-Club. Thank you.
